Dallas County Elections Administrator Toni Pippins-Poole says the Texas legislature needs to strengthen the laws on mail-in ballots. All week WFAA-TV has explored and exposed the mail-in ballot issue. The station obtained secret recordings that suggested people are illegally paid in the elections office to provide information. Wade Emmert, a leading election law attorney with the Emmert Law Firm, discussed the mail-in ballot law and how susceptible the voting method is to fraud.

Wade Emmert lead the legal team for State Representative Rodney Anderson in a recount that would determine who would represent House District 105 in the 2017-2019 legislative session.

With a margin of only 64 votes on election night, there was little doubt that a recount would be hotly contested.

Anderson said he’s excited to continue his work at the Capitol next year.”I’m honored to represent one of the most diverse districts in the state of Texas,” Anderson said. “I’m one of the most accessible members of the Legislature, and I look forward to continuing that accessibility in the next session.”
